Church Urban Fund – Together Grants Programme (England)

Churches and Christian community groups that wish to tackle poverty in England’s most deprived communities can apply for grants of up to £5,000 through the Church Urban Fund’s “Together Grants Programme”.

The Church Urban Fund is especially interested in funding projects that tackle the underlying causes of poverty. Applicants:

Should be faith based organisations

Should be directly tackling poverty

Should work in partnership with one other organisations (does not have to be faith based)

The activity must have a local focus, being based locally with community involvement in identifying needs, initiating responses and running the project.

Applications to fund short term activities such as one-off events or initiatives that only meet people’s immediate needs are considered low priority. Applications can be submitted at any time.
